Compassion

Compassion – a concern for the sufferings and misfortunes of others. I have a friend who seems to have a new MAJOR problem every week; to the point where it is tiresome for me to have compassion for her and listen to her new struggle. How lucky we are to serve a God who never tires of our pleas for help during our trials! Not only is He compassionate, but he is gracious, slow to anger and abounding in love. He doesn’t just listen to our woes but He provides for us all that we need through the struggles of life. God is not angered by our constant need, nor is He angered when we mess up and cause the problems ourselves. He loves us so much that He gave His only Son so that we may have the ability to come to Him whenever we are in need in complete and perfect freedom! How great is our God 🙂
